Al Natural in Madrid

Best twist of fate ever! After quite a day’s journey from Cordoba, the first restaurant we tried for dinner was closed.  No idea why, but fortunately we had a backup option ready just in case.  I knew it was veg-friendly, but I didn’t know it was entirely vegan.  Wee!!!    If you are in Madrid and looking for a delicious vegetarian or vegan meal, you absolutely must go to Al Natural Vegetariano.  For the record, they do have ovo-lacto options too, as well as free-range chicken and fish dishes.  We were semi-early (for Spain’s dining… Read more >

Reading between the lines

My Thursday started at 4:20 am.  [I always change my alarm to a different time, so I actually think this was a 4:24 day] I wasn’t really feeling very Jillian-esque, so I zoned out to Most Eligible Dallas while pumping iron in my living room. [pumping iron = minimal reps with 3 lb dumbbells]    I had pancakes for breakfast before work. [I’m not superwoman, I made these in advance, see below]   As usual, I had my work eats all ready to go, including a buckwheat breakfast, a mixed leftovers salad, two Enjoy Life… Read more >

2 1/2 hours for 2 1/2 inches

Yesterday, after my pancakes had digested, I squished a run into the morning (squished being the operative word).  It was 26 minutes long and I was in such a rush to shower and get ready afterwards that I seriously neglected my post-workout stretching.  Bad runner!   Knowing it would be a mistake to leave without eating first, I whipped this up on my way out the door.  I was so friggin’ rushed that in between pulsing the bullet, I was tearing through my closet, jabbing mascara into my lashes, and chucking whatever I could grab… Read more >

What the wheat

If you’re wondering why there have been more giveaway posts and Spain recaps than daily eats lately, it’s because I’ve been doing the fructans challenge phase.  And I’m not thrilled with it.  At first I was nervous about reintroducing fructans, then I was excited, then I went overboard… I actually started last week, but had such horrible symptoms, I went back to the elimination diet for two days in between, just to allow my body to rest and re-set. I’ll share my reactions and symptoms in more detail at the end (ie once I’ve sorted… Read more >

The Westin’s Worst

May 14th started with an 0730 rise and shine to re-pack and set out.  My dad and I attempted to locate a “supermercado” while the rest of the fam ate at the local croissanteria (pretty sure my dad made up that name).  No luck. We caught taxis and in true Dieden fashion arrived at the bus station 55 minutes early.  I read Tina Fey’s book on the world’s most uncomfortable bench and at last it was time to board.  Off to Madrid! Shockingly I dozed off for most of the trip.  I woke up once… Read more >
